“…In the absence of a consensual definition of disabled entrepreneurs, the present study assumed that this term describes disabled individuals who have decided to become an entrepreneur at some point in their life. They are resilient, tenacious people with attitudes that strengthen their work skills and ensure disabled entrepreneurs can overcome barriers at various levels during the course of their career (Bagheri and Abbariki, 2017;Jasniak et al, 2018;Mohammed and Jamil, 2015;Shaheen, 2016). Disabled entrepreneurs' active role needs to be emphasized in the development of their business activities and consequent contributions to society.…”

“…The process of becoming an entrepreneur can also be influenced by the type of disability (Manzanera-Rom an and Séñan, 2019) in terms of the way it is perceived by the entrepreneurs and/or the peer groups that surround them (García and Capit an, 2019a). Disabled entrepreneurs can, however, achieve their goals, although these individuals sometimes need to focus more on successfully performing their entrepreneurial role rather than merely focusing on overcoming barriers (Jasniak et al, 2018). Psychological characteristics of entrepreneurs with disabilities have been identified such as "self-esteem/ self-confidence, security/strength, adaptability, self-realization/self-improvement, optimism, realism and mental clarity, resilience, usefulness and social recognition, autonomy, selfappraisal, emotional intelligence and motivation" (Hern andez and Pérez, 2019, p. 15).…”

Purpose The process by which disabled individuals become entrepreneurs can be influenced by factors of different orders. Throughout their entrepreneurship careers and projects, disabled entrepreneurs may have to overcome multiple personal, social and political barriers. This study aims to review what we do (and do not) know about disabled entrepreneurs research to date. Design/methodology/approach The literature review focused on analyzing 42 articles from two databases, namely, Web of Science and Scopus. After the articles were selected, they were grouped into thematic clusters. Findings The results were categorized into four areas, namely, entrepreneurs with disabilities, self-employment as an alternative to unemployment for people with disabilities, barriers faced by disabled entrepreneurs and the importance of education, training and/or orientation for these individuals’ entrepreneurship. The research verified that, in some cases, people with disabilities resort to self-employment and become entrepreneurs to avoid unemployment. Education and training’s positive role in how this process develops is clear as they empower individuals with disabilities and enable them to raise entrepreneurial attitudes. Originality/value Based on the citation profile of articles on disabled entrepreneurs, the results contribute to a better understanding of the flow and main findings of scientific research on this topic over the past 15 years. The findings also include research tendencies that reveal the field’s emergent perspectives, which are of great importance to academics seeking to enhance entrepreneurial processes and policymakers interested in stimulating entrepreneurship education.

“…Most studies mention the type(s) of disability covered. A few only deal with one type of disability such as hearing impairment (Jasniak et al, 2018), visual impairment (Ng & Arndt, 2019), and intellectual disabilities (Caldwell et al, 2019). Most studies feature more than one type (Parker Harris, Renko, & Caldwell, 2014; Saxena & Pandya, 2018; Sefotho, 2015) but some forego specifying altogether (Mohammed & Jamil, 2015).…”

“…For example, a study by Parker Harris, Renko, and Caldwell (2014) considers the role of government, funding, and culture to influence self‐employment by PWDs. Further, Jasniak et al (2018) indicate that entrepreneurial self‐efficacy and general social support are positively associated with social entrepreneurial appraisal, suggesting that networking and relationships encourage EWDs in their willingness to create social ventures. As also noted by Caldwell et al (2019), social entrepreneurs with intellectual disabilities rely on both formal and informal networks, but to an even greater extent in comparison to entrepreneurs with physical disabilities.…”

Disability entrepreneurship research: Critical reflection through the lens of individual‐opportunity nexus

The individual‐opportunity (IO) nexus has been a highly influential perspective in entrepreneurship, but its market‐focused and variance‐deterministic character pose serious limitations where entrepreneurship is intended as a development policy for disabled people. The extant research in disability entrepreneurship converges in the recognition of structural barriers faced by disabled entrepreneurs, but in most cases, the multilevel challenges only translate to adaptive mechanisms at an individual level. When the IO nexus is adopted as a lens, its variance‐deterministic setup and market‐focused outcome definitions are in favor of entrepreneurs with conventional characteristics, but less helpful for a policy purpose where substantial non‐economic value could be overlooked. Two critical points for consideration in disability entrepreneurship research are the role of context in which the disabled entrepreneurs are embedded, and the influences of different levels of analysis.

“…Entrepreneurial intention among students is directly and indirectly influenced by their perceptions of their capabilities and skills [16,20] individuals are yet to pioneer and sustain a business venture [19,22]. Past studies [15,19,22] have identified communication difficulties and a lack of the entrepreneurial training, financial grounding, and social support required for the DHH as factors that influence the creation of business ventures by them. Some recent studies [23,24] note that the intention to initiate, nurture and sustain an entrepreneurial idea is linked to an individual's personality traits.…”

BACKGROUND: Implications of entrepreneurial education (EE), entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) and personality traits (PT) on the entrepreneurial intentions of the deaf is yet unknown in existing literature. OBJECTIVE: To examine the influence of EE, ESE and PT on the entrepreneurial intentions among some 250 Deaf and Hard of hearing (DHH) students from two post-secondary institutions in Oyo state, Nigeria. METHODS: A descriptive research design was adopted, while a structured paper questionnaire was used for data collection. The data generated were analysed using descriptive statistics and the inferential statistics of Pearson Product Moment Correlation and hierarchical multiple regression at a 0.05 level of significance. RESULTS: The entrepreneurial intentions of DHH college students had a significant positive correlation with EE (r = 0.18, p < 0.05), agreeableness (r = 0.23, p < 0.05), and conscientiousness (r = 0.19, p < 0.05); but had a negative correlation with ESE, neuroticism and openness. Furthermore, personality traits and ESE were the highest predictors of entrepreneurial intention among DHH college students. CONCLUSIONS: Personality traits were the greatest predictor of the entrepreneurial intention of DHH college students post the COVID-19 lockdowns in Nigeria. Therefore, higher education institutions should intensify their efforts in entrepreneurial education and parents of DHH students should encourage them to seek entrepreneurial opportunities.
